Trafford, running, stuffs

Blog time. I'm being really antisocial lately and don't seem to have time for anyone, however i'm hoping to have more time next week.. (if not money!)

I've done my last preparations for the Great North Run, the half-marathon which is this coming Sunday - in South Shields I believe. For anyone sad enough to be watching it on the telly, I will be one of quite a few wearing a bright purple t-shirt saying "curing children with cancer" , raising money for kidscan and york hospital radio.

I had a really nice weekend with Paula , saw the Trafford Centre (above) ... ooh that's the first time i've done that, referred to a picture with brackets like they do in magazines or newspaper articles... sorry... and visited Chester. If anyone wants to see a FIRST ... go and see the FIRST ever 3D cinematic film to have terrible acting and a cheesy storyline - Piranha 3D - it's also very gorey - bits of bodies and stuff - hm, i haven't sold it well.

I'm planning my radio show for tomorrow night as its the first night the team of ward-walkers join me so I figured I ought to try and make it at least half-decent. It has a Manchester theme in the second hour, so music from some of the many many different and varied bands that hail from Manchester. Possibly the music capital of the world in that way.

My job is terrible at the moment. There is virtually no work to do, as in virtually zero, and it is pretty strict so it feels a lot like I am wasting 8 hours each day!! which is crazy I know. I finish October 29th. If I'm lucky (or skilful) skillful? skilful? dunno.. then i'll manage to get another job before my current one finishes. Last time, I was only out of a job for about 10 days when I finished, so hopefully this time will be fine too, though it's scary when I rent in the city centre, and don't have family's money to fall back on. However, at least if I get homeless, I can go to london and join in Crisis at Christmas and get some great food and play the piano.

Excited about my radio show tomorrow and going to plan the rest of it tonight. Also working really hard to get myself 8 hours of sleep every night, rather than the 6 to 7 that I was getting, which wasn't doing me much good. End of word rant.
